Richard Rieves commented on the blog post After the Election 6 months, 1 week ago
Reading my Facebook page, this morning after the election, convinces me that my friends hate each other. Jesus brought down the wall of hostility with his own body that the church might be united in a community that exists above politics, culture and class in a little thing called the Church.

Richard Rieves wrote a new blog post: Are you the one? 6 months, 1 week ago
What should we – individually and collectively – be doing differently about hunger issues in our community? John the Baptist sent a contingency to Jesus to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else? ” Jesus responded, “ Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind [...]

No Joke!
August 7, 2009 will be a day I won’t soon forget. It was 5 o’clock in the afternoon when I received the call. I had met a friend at a bar and was trying to concentrate on our conversation, ignoring my vibrating phone. When I finally answered, my neighbor, from across the street, informed me that firemen were at my house. Within ten…[Read more]

Should Tennessee abolish the death penalty? Is God left or right of the death penalty? Is he liberal or conservative? The death penalty is anything but hypothetical to God. He carried [...]

Richard Rieves wrote a new blog post: Culture of vulnerability 1 year, 1 month ago
Earle Fisher will note in a guest column this Saturday, “One of the most prevalent and plausible critiques of the faith community is that when it comes to matters of sexual abuse and domestic violence, the church practices ‘sacred silence.’ ” Do you agree? What can we do to provide a safe place for dialogue regarding [...]

In a recent interview, Rev. Franklin Graham questioned the Christian credentials of President Barack Obama and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
